might be out in Greenpoint late Julyit's private pre-school in NYC. the only place they (the rich) rub elbows with the non-rich. then the rest of us head off to public school for pre-k and k, while they keep paying 40-50k/year per kid until college.
Think about how that will look if you do gripe about the $40.We're probably the poorest family of the bunch
greenpoint? yeah. I'm the one with the beard and tight pants.might be out in Greenpoint late July
I'LL BE LOOKING YOU UP

that's me. how are we ever going to find each other?greenpoint? yeah. I'm the one with the beard and tight pants.
The mom is an absolute smoke show.Let your wife have sex with her husband.
I've thought about all outcomes for a portion of this morning, I was hoping schtick would win out here, but it couldn't. There really is no benefit in saying anything.Hard to believe with this group that "pay it and move on" is winning overwhelmingly. Dentist down?
1. Pay the $40
2. Thank them for having you.
3. Steal something worth $50
4. Profit
Ultimately, this is what you should and I assume will do.I've thought about all outcomes for a portion of this morning, I was hoping schtick would win out here, but it couldn't. There really is no benefit in saying anything.
There are a bunch of other families, my hope is maybe someone else says something.
This. Throw a party for free on the same weekend and invite the same people.I know a ton of wealthy people and 95% of them are the cheapest people I know. you should be used to stuff like this.
if you're going to pay the $40, at least gossip behind these people's back with all of the other parents about how tacky this is......oh, wait....looks like you've already done that
completely true, gb.
This feels kinda true.

An advantage of being associated with some of these people is developing connections for my kids that they can hopefully leverage later in life. Ultimately, I'm just not important enough to shoot off my mouth in these situations...Ultimately, this is what you should and I assume will do.
My son goes to a private high school and we are among the poorest families there. Most of the students drive nicer cars than I do. I am also hoping he is put into opportunities he might not have otherwise had.An advantage of being associated with some of these people is developing connections for my kids that they can hopefully leverage later in life.

At the end of the day, some these people are powerful in their respective worlds and can provide a recommendation which will help my kids land a quality job in 18 years from now. I'm dying to say something in this situation, but after reflecting on the situation, it would prob be a bad move for the kids, so I need to just #### and bite my tongue. I am someone who rarely does this, but if it comes down to my kids, I just don't have a choice. I hate saying I'm not important enough, but this is just a situation where some people can provide some very helpful influence in the future.Not important enough?? Dude: don't ever let THAT nonsense thinking stop you from doing just about anything (legal). Here, it's just a question of no benefit and possible significant cost (non-monetary, i.e., some backlash) involving your kid.
And good lord, the pole options are more readable now due to the Bored Downgrade!!
& the numbers are kinda what I expected in the poll (>75% pay and shut up)... Outside of MoP, most seem level headed in this situation.
We all live within 10-15 blocks of each other. Most of these people have nowhere else to go, they're at the pinnacle of where they want to be. I think we'll continue to see each other around the neighborhood, hopefully remain friendly, and when my kid graduates college, sending a note to a SVP at Goldman asking him for a recommendation for an interview won't be some outlandish requestYou really think they're gonna remember you kid and fast track him 18 years from now cause your kid was preschool classmates with theirs?
place your kid's resume under the husband's pillow..We all live within 10-15 blocks of each other. Most of these people have nowhere else to go, they're at the pinnacle of where they want to be.

Certainly not the worst connections to have and try to maintain...
If I worked in finance, I'd do this with my own resume.place your kid's resume under the husband's pillow..
It's weak, but you know rich people.Hey, I'm having a party, it'll be a great time, come on over!!
2 weeks later:
The party is a little expensive, our helicopter flight back from the Hamptons is going to cost an extra $4k to make it in time, I need an extra $40 a family.
It is just obnoxious IMO.
